Found Her Favorite Again.
A bright young lady tells how- she
came to be acutely sensitive as to the
taste of coffee:
"My health had been very poor for
several, years," she says. "I loved
coffee and drank It for breakfast, but
only learned by accident, as it were,
that it was the cause of the constant,
dreabful headaches from which I suf
fered every day, and of the nervous
ness that drove sleep from my pillow
and so deranged my stomach thu
everything I ate gave mo acute pa.'
(Tea is jUBt as Injurious, becau-v It
contains caffeine, the sama drug imind
in coffee.)
"My condition finally got fo scrou
that I was advised by my doctor tn Rt
to a hospital. There they gave n;r
what I supposed was coffee, nnd 1
thought It was the best I ever dr.m'K
but I have since learned It vif.
Postum. I gained rapidly nnd i nr. i
home In four weeks.
"Somehow the coffee we used r.t
home didn't taste right when I ' 1
back. I tried various kinds, but i.ei.'
tasted as good as thnt I drank in ?
hospital, and all brought back t'.x
dreadful headaches and the 'sick-all
over" feeling.
"One day I got a package of Pontuni.
and the first taste of it I took. 1
said 'that's the good coffee we had i;l
the hospital.' I havo drank it ever
since, and eat Grape-Nuts for my
breakfast I have no more headaches
and feel better than I have for years."
